 Do any of you use the Koss DC-10 headset? How is it? I need to replace my headset and I want to invest in a good new one. Can you tell me . . . are the ear inserts foam or a plastic-type material? It is difficult to tell by the picture on the web-site I have looked at. I perfer the plastic insert to foam. :-) I think they last much longer and seem to block out the outside noise. Your opinions please! Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Me too.. Koss DC/10! nm
.
I use Koss behind the ear
Love them! The sound is great and they don't hurt at all! And reasonably priced!
Anything by Koss.
Most Sonys are excellent too. Also the Sennheiser PX100 is great, comparable somewhat to the Koss Portapro, though the cheaper Koss ones sound great too.
I've heard the Panasonics are cheap and amazing for the price, but haven't tried any of them yet.

I bought a really nice pair of Koss earbuds at Wal-Mart. I have problems with a lot of headphones hurting my ears too. These ones have those little black things that go in your ears. It comes with three different sized rubber things so you can use the ones that fit your ears. They are really great for blocking out noises too.
I don't know what the Koss Plug is, but for myself I just
The kind with the small, hard ends that fit into your ear, not the big, round, padded ends with the foam on them. They're under $20. They don't hurt at all, and I find the sound quality to be fine--but I've not had a lot of experience with other, higher quality earplugs.
Just bought some Koss
"SPORTCLIP" stereophones and love them. Got them at Radio Shack for about $25. Each side hooks directly over the ear, no headband on top or behind the head, and you can hardly even tell you have them on as they are very lightweight. They do block outside noise quite well--I have been startled by family members who walked up behind me and then tapped me on the shoulder. They also have a volume control right on the cord, an absolute necessity for me. They have a standard plug but I have a USB adapter and have them plugged into the front of my computer. The cord isn't real long, only 4 feet, which I am still getting used to, but otherwise I love everything about them.
anyone using koss QZ99
headphones? is the headband comfortable? do you like them?
Koss earphones....$5.00 at Wal-Mart

My all time favorite Koss DC/10 under $20 nm

I like an expensive Koss brand I get at
Wal-Mart. They fit around the back of your head, have a big "muff" (don't know what you call them) and don't squeeze so tight you sweat. I think they are are $9.99. They only last me about a year though as one of the wires seems to break and you don't get sound in both ears. I've had several pair of them and really like them other than having to replacement them every year or so.
Thank you for the Koss headphone recommendation sm
I had to get another pair because think my $45 pair is dying and I can't afford another pair...and 2 new keyboards, a new mouse, a space heater, a special MT pedal and some software this month.
I was at Wally's and they had one type of Koss headphones only costing $5 and I bought them. I really like them and they are quiet. They even came with an extra pair of padded foam thingys for the ear part.
So, to all who said try them, I have and many thanks.
I use Koss headphones. They are huge, but effective.

Koss DC-10 and radio shack booster
http://www.officedirectinc.com/DCHS.htm for headset
Radio Shack does not appear to carry theirs anymore. This one on ebay might work similarly.

I use a cheap Koss headphone. They go behind your head and the ear pieces are
big, but don't cover the entire ear. They are stereo with a volume control in-line. They cost $20 or less at Wal-Mart and I have to replace about once a year because a wire breaks and I don't get stereo. Any of bud ones hurt my ears.
I wear cheapie ear buds from Target, any brand, usually Koss. Comfy, light, good sound, cheap. nm

Need help with headset
My headphones are louder on one side than the other. I have tried different headphones, so I know it has to be the computer. Any ideas on how to change that? TIA!
actually it could be the headset as I have had this
happen before. If the wiring in the headset gets messed up for some reason it can cause this. Have you tried more than 1 headset?
Headset
Hello, For excellent sound quality I would suggest the SPUSB headset which can be found on our website at www.tvps.com.
also....about the headset
I quit playing CDs on my computer because it was such a hassle to swap out the headset for the computer speakers. I had to pull the computer away from the wall and bend and stretch as far as I could and then use a flashlight to find the hole to change change them. Plus, I had very little slack in the headset because my hard drive sits on the floor. I solved 2 problems at once: I went to Radio Shack and bought an 6-foot extender for 7 bucks. One end fits into the back of the computer, and the headset attaches to the other end. Now I can even leave my headset on when I stand up at my desk to reach the very top shelf to reach some of my more obselete references. In addition, I just swap the headset cord for the speaker cord to play CDs. Makes me a happy camper for sure!

Please help... need to know where to buy a new headset as I lost the paperwork for this pair.. my ears are killing me!!!! Help!!!
Headset
I have tried so many, and I think the absolute best headset is made by Lanier Healthcare. They have been purchased by Medquist, and you can either go online or call 1-866-542-7253 to order one. The clarity is wonderful and they are very comfortable.
Headset for MT
I have tried a few different brands, but out of all of them my Koss DC/10 is the best. Good quality sound, light and easy on my ears for comfort.
OM headset
Thanks for the help. I had tried transcriptiongear.com but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. If I can't get that particular one from OM I'll call customer support at transcriptiongear and talk to them. Thanks again!
headset....
Do you use an 'adapter' to connect your footpedal to the modem port? Sometimes this minimizes the volume.
You might try to install to install a soundblaster
headset
Did you try transcriptiongear.com
or Google lanier headsets
Headset adapter
I have a stethoscope style Dictaphone headset with a dual-prong plug in. I no longer need to use my C-phone, but love my headset, so I am looking for an adapter to make the dual-prong a standard single-prong plug in. Dictaphone of course does not sell such a thing. Does anyone have one and if so, where did you get it from? Thanks!! :)
Looking to replace my headset.
I'd like to hear what everyone prefers for these. I've tried all kinds but am not sure what I think are the "best." I want good sound quality whether it's from my computer or C-phone and will be using them for both (unless I should have 2 different kinds). At any rate, I'm curious what you all use or what you think are the absolute best. Thanks.
Lanier Headset
Does anyone know where I can get a good price on a Lanier Stethoscope style headset (metal) - LX-10-35??? I have found these for $70, but maybe you might know of a better deal. THANKS....
Usually when you plug in the headset
that automatically send the sound to the headphones instead of the speaker. This could be a DAC with a problem unless someone else knows a secret that I don't. Try a different headset and see if the results are the same.
Best place to buy headset
dictaphone headset
First hit top row keys, left(program), left again (keys), then select the key you wish to use from whatever is available.
Hit keys in this order: pound key (#); star key (*); 1; and 1.
Then hit the multiplication key (x) on the right, then the stop key at the bottom. I hope these instructions are clear enough.
I have never replaced my headset -
When I worked in someone else's office, rarely but occasionally a headset would/might break. However, since being at home doing same work 10 years, I have never had to replace my headset (the one that came with a transcriber years ago); however, I have had to replace several transcribers over the MANY, MANY years and think I'm on my 3rd one now......finally got a Lanier (they are the best in my opinion for transcriber machines).
You would use the code *11 for the headset

New to WAV files. How do I use a headset..sm
and still be able to use my speakers? I can hook a headset up to the back of my computer but it means disconnecting the speaker wire that goes to my speakers. Is there some kind of splitter or connector or certain type headset or something I can use?
speakers/headset
I have an extension i bought at radio shack and plug/unplug speakers/headset - makes it easier than getting to the rear of the computer. I've never seen a splitter - it would make sense!
Headset - what do you wear?
I just can't seem to find anything that I really like. I want good sound quality (of course), not bulky, comfortable. What do you like?
headset question
I hope this does not sound dumb, but does anyone know if there are headsets now that block out the background noise coming from the recording of the dictator? I know there is BOS that takes care of surrounding noise of our environment but was wondering about the other. Thank you.
C-Phone Headset
Try re-programming it using one of the black buttons above the number pad. I do not use the speaker/mute button for my headset but programmed it using the first black button at the top of the row on the left-hand side. Try that and it should work without disconnecting you every time. Hope that makes sense

HEADSET PROGRAMMING
Hit the program key at the top then keys, then pick the key you want then the code is #*11 then hit the select key and then stop key....good luck, I had this problem as well and do every now and then when I unplug my equipment.
stethoscope headset
I've purchased them on ebay from Universal Audio Visual, Inc., out of East Orleans, MA, and have been very happy with the price, quality and speedy service.
dictaphone headset help
i usually work online with everything. i'm filling in using a c-phone for a friend. i can't get the headset to work. it's just speaker phone and nothing else. seems like i remember having to program my old one. anyone know?
I need headset sound help....SM
The older I get the worse my hearing. I think it's all the years with headset jammed into my ears. I am working on an account with very low volume and techs cannot do anything about it.
Does anyone use headset with in-line volume control and does it work? I found a set on ebay - $30.00 plus shipping. But hate to order unless it works. Help!!
Spectra Headset
Anyone use the Spectra Headset with the USB connection. Ratings?
Good headset
Need to invest in a headset that blocks out noise in the room around me. Am using one of the "Lanier" type headsets, which has always served me well, but find that I can't seem to hear well enough on the the account I am on (particularly with some docs). There isn't that much noise around me, but I had seen some posts somewhere about a better quality, heavy-duty one. Can anybody point me in a direction?
Headset volume
I don't know what version you have, but with mine I do this with my "mumblers"...
In Express Scribe:
Go to File, then Special Audio Processes, and then Extra Volume Boost.
It will load and only takes a few seconds. I think you may have to do that for each file or you may have to do it again if you close out Express Scribe; haven't figured that out yet.
Hope this helps....
headset question
I guess we're all going through the same thing. I also asked the same question with a couple of responses. Is there really a good headset out there that will sound somewhat decent with my speakers ? This is just nuts, it sounds like my docs are dictating in the bottom of a tin can.
Thanx
Best headset is a USB. No noise but the
Bose Headset
I remember someone talking about getting these headsets. Did you get them? Did you like them for transcription? I'm hoping to get them for Christmas, but would like to know if they are worth it.
